          Introduction to DConf
        </h2>
        <p>
          The <span class="application">DConf</span> package contains a
          low-level configuration system. Its main purpose is to provide a
          backend to GSettings on platforms that don't already have
          configuration storage systems.
        </p>
        <p>
          The <span class="application">DConf-Editor</span>, as the name
          suggests, is a graphical editor for the <span class=
          "application">DConf</span> database. Installation is optional,
          because <span class="command"><strong>gsettings</strong></span>
          from <a class="xref" href="../general/glib2.html" title=
          "GLib-2.62.4">GLib-2.62.4</a> provides similar functionality on the
          commandline.
        </p>
        <p>
          This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-9.1
          platform.
